arttse,

simpy because Putin wants control of energy resources.

Now consider the following:-

Kurmanbek Saliyevich Bakiyev the president of Kyrgyzstan is “Putin’s man, being a soviet-trained professional, he served in the Soviet Red Army.

Bakiyev HAS already proposed placing the Kyrgyz hydro-energy sector under the management of the Russian government-controlled Unified Energy Systems enterprise

Bakiyev wants the “West” out of Kyrgyzstan, with his government having recently expelled US diplomats

Close neighbouring country Uzbekistan HAVE revoked the licence and seized the assets of Western companies operating there.

These neighbours (Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan) are very close politically.

Look I could have it all wrong (time will tell) but it appears to me that "Putin" already has defacto control of Kyrgyzstan based upon Bakiyev's actions to date over the Kyrgyz hydro-energy sector.

There are plenty of news stories available on the new to support my views - simply use google and search for any one of, or a combination of:-

Kyrgyzstan news, Uzbekistan news, Bakiyev, Putin, Putin and energy

Cheers
